    Reviews Needed

    Okay, a bunch of people have volunteered to be writers, but haven't provided any reviews. So can people write up some reviews for the homepage on:

    [PS3] DUST 514
    [PS3 or 360 or PC] Assassin's Creed 3
    [360] HALO 4
    [PS3 or 360 or PC] Black Ops II

    ...or any other recent games you have thoughts on?

    Thumbs up Assassin's Creed 3

    I bought this on pre-order. I have to say, it is by far THE most enjoyable "adventure" game I've ever played, and I have played all the other AC's. This is truly the best. The history (and fiction woven through), drama, cinematics... all of it is fantastic!!

    The multiplayer is also fantastic!! Definitely recommend.

    If you would write an in-depth review on the homepage section, that would be great.

    I totally agree with the story.. I love it! Its extremely immersive.. the controls on the other hand, still suck..

    Is there any other games that we need to be reviewed? I havent heard about any new games coming out soon, if theres any specific ones shoot them my way and I will give them a play through.

    Please review any games. If you finish one let Smoke know and he can give the run down about writing on the front page.

    If people are slacking on a BO2 review and no one has gotten started on one i'll knock one out in the next couple hours or so and send it to you via pm asap. is there a particular format we want to mold to or is it completely free form?

    Gaming is staying up 'til 3am to earn a trophy that isn't real.......BUT IS

    Ooh I like it! But I don't think it's a good fit for the home page!

    Look at the current reviews on the site for an idea, but you have a bunch of leeway. And if you go more in-depth on SP or MP, that's totally fine.

    I'm willing to do dust and the new need for speed. I'll just need a little time. Have to get some more game time in before I can write up something good.

    I would be willing to do some proofing as well for anyone that is throwing something together and wants to get another set of eyes on things.

    I submitted a Black Ops 2 review, whoever has the power to approve please proof read and send it through. I also couldn't add an image for whatever reason, kept giving me an http error so if you could add the box art that would be most helpful

    Cool, thanks

    I'd enjoy doing reviews more consistently but I just never know when I'll have time and an internet connection at the same time. I'll help out where I can though

    Thanks for adding the graphics like that btw, I wanted to do that sort of thing but I didn't see how and the issues I was having with uploading the box art didn't motivate me to look farther into it

    It took me awhile to figure it out. You have to click where you want to add images, then hit the "Add Media" button. Then either upload the image, or select it from those already uploaded to the site. Then in the right-hand panel, select the size you want (usually ~300px wide is what I use), and click "insert into post". Once there, click on the image, select the "Edit" button (upper left-hand corner of the image), and select the text wrapping mode, if desired. You can also tweak the size downwards a little if you need to.

    First off I want to apologize about my lack of reviews and activity. I do have my pc up and running now and im back in action after the car accident. Ive got some things lined up to get some reviews on the front page. Just be patient with me and ill make some magic happen. I liked the Black ops review btw....sad i missed out on the chance to write it, but im happy to see it was a job well done

    No problem! Life happens. If you want to write a Black Ops review that comes from a different opinion, or taking a different spin on the game, you are welcome to do so. Can't wait to see what you write up for us!
